Purpose: To compare the corneal stromal demarcation line depth using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) after corneal cross-linking (CXL) using two different treatment protocols: the standard Dresden protocol (30 minutes with 3 mW/cm(2)) and a modified high intensity protocol (7 minutes with 18 mW/cm(2)), corresponding to a total surface dose of 5.4 and 7.5 J/cm(2), respectively.

- Glaucoma, particularly primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), is a leading cause of blindness globally and involves neurodegeneration.
- Numerous studies have suggested a possible link between Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of glaucoma, sparking significant scientific debate.
- This review aims to analyze major research and trials to clarify the potential connection between H. pylori and glaucoma treatment options.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) through a comprehensive review of existing research.
- The findings show that while many studies suggest a strong correlation between AD and POAG, there are also conflicting results, indicating that the relationship is still not fully understood.
- The authors call for more extensive research focusing on genetic factors and large-scale studies, and they suggest that current evidence warrants increased clinical awareness of the potential overlap between AD and glaucoma in affected patients.
Iridoschisis is a rare condition that consists of the separation of the anterior mesodermic layer of the iris. In more than two-thirds of cases it is associated with glaucoma. We report the case of an 80-year-old patient who had bilateral iridoschisis and presented with acute angle-closure glaucoma.
